Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
Personal Injury Small Claims Court Appeal
Hello,
We won a judgement on a personal injury case in small claims court for $7,500 and now the insurance company is appealing to Superior Court. Now that the matter is being reheard with lawyers in Superior Court can we increase the amount we are asking for since we were limited in CA Smalls Claim Court to $7,500?

No, but you can now hire an attorney to represent you in the appeal. If serious about doing so, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me.

Re: Personal Injury Small Claims Court Appeal
No. The new hearing is an appeal of the small claims case and is subject to the same jurisdictional limit.
Re: Personal Injury Small Claims Court Appeal
Once you file in the Small Claims Court, you are limited to the jurisdiction of that court. The appeal is like a brand new trial, save and except that in the appeal you can be represented by counsel.
